Subject: numa: mempolicy: Allow tunable policy for system init
From: Paul Mundt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The current default behaviour for system init (via numa_policy_init()) is
to use MPOL_INTERLEAVE across the online nodes in order to avoid a
preference for node 0. This tends to be undesirable for small nodes that
really would rather prefer to keep as many allocations on node 0 as
possible.
As tmpfs already provides a parser for the policy and nodelist --
shmem_parse_mpol(), we generalize this and wrap in to it via an mpolinit=
(for lack of a better name) setup param. Other code that wishes to do
mempolicy parsing for itself can use the new mpol_parse_options().
As an example, for small nodes, one might prefer to boot with
'mpolinit=prefer:0'. numa_default_policy() will still overload this with
MPOL_DEFAULT later on anyways, so this is only useful for system init.
